I stalk my new neighbors, a single mother and her child,
drawn by the irresistible scent of their joy and love. I
crave their blood, starved for some healing respite from my
ancient guilt and grief. Now to lure them into my grasp.

But they surprise me. Little Olivia accepts me without
fear––talking, smiling, offering innocent
affection that tugs at my long–lost humanity. Her
mother, Samantha, seeks me out when she should stay away,
offering sweet friendship, and tempting the forgotten man
within me. They lure me instead.
